The Mod Squad Moderates
The RollerCoaster forums and guestbooks are moderated by The Mod Squad, which means that messages sent to RollerCoaster forums and guestbooks are checked before they are published.

Depending on the traffic for RollerCoaster chat activities, these messages may take some time to appear - over a day in some circumstances (such as over weekends).

The Mod Squad will remove messages from forums and guestbooks for any one or more of the following reasons:

» The contents of the message may appear to place a child's privacy at risk (it could include a piece of personal information such as an email address, home address, telephone number, name of school, ICQ number, etc).

» The ABC considers a message to be of nuisance value, offensive or inappropriate to this forum. Repeated messages of this nature may result in the ABC filing an official complaint to the ISP of the person responsible, and in very serious cases, possible legal action.

» The ABC considers a message to be abusive, defamatory or otherwise unlawful.

» Messages which endorse commercial products and/or activities will be scrutinised closely and may be deleted if, in the ABC's opinion, they are not a genuine audience comment. RollerCoaster forums and guestbooks are not a venue for indirect advertising.
